I disagree that anxiety cannot be kicked. It most certainly can. It depends on the individual, but it absolutely can. Anxiety can actually become a habit. A habit to let your mind wander into panicking. Just like any habit, you can kick it with the willpower. Just like any illness you need to let your body heal so you can kick it. It worked for me, and I wouldn't change any of my wording. These are my experiences that I'm sharing. Others may not be able to achieve this, but it never hurts to read it.
Perhaps there is a solution to solving my problem(s), but I take my fear head on almost everyday and seem to make little to no difference. In fact, it has gradually gotten worse over the past few months and my personality has changed dramatically at work. When I'm on break, I can't wait to get out the work building and sit in my car, isolated alone, or talking to my friend. I'm going to stay optimistic and hope my doctor can suggest some recommendations I'm not yet aware of.
